.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBlongname()\fR function returns a pointer to a static area containing a
verbose description (128 characters or fewer) of the terminal.  The area is
defined after calls to \fBinitscr\fR(3XCURSES), \fBnewterm\fR(3XCURSES), or
\fBsetupterm\fR(3XCURSES). The value should be saved if \fBlongname()\fR is
going to be used with  multiple terminals since it will be overwritten with a
new value after each  call to \fBnewterm()\fR or \fB setupterm()\fR.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
On success, the \fBlongname()\fR function returns a pointer to a verbose
description of the terminal. Otherwise, it returns a null pointer.
.SH ERRORS
